“The pace which we played with today was a joy to see,” Hasenhuttl said after the game. “We did well in switching between defence and attack, and I was also really pleased with our work off the ball.

“The team executed the plan we put in place before the game to a high level. If you’re being really picky you could say that we should have won the game by more and not conceded twice. By doing that, we made things difficult for ourselves.

“You can never get complacent when you have a lead in the Champions League – that’s just asking for trouble. The game was really close until the end, so it was a fully deserved victory.”
